At MJ Quinn we’re committed to supporting Mental Health Awareness week. In the UK alone 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health condition at some point in their lives. This is why now more than ever we need to start the conversation and support others around us. This year, for Mental Health Awareness, the theme is loneliness, and we are focusing on learning more about loneliness and how it can affect our employees. We have posted messages on screens in offices and sent information and videos to our office staff to raise awareness of exactly what loneliness is and how to deal with it, and ways to seek help if needed.
We also have our engineers who work most days alone, so we are sending out text messages to them about how to cope with working alone. By doing this, we hope to raise awareness of the issue and provide our employees with the support they need.
